Homeopathic medicines commonly used for dysmenorrhoea are Belladonna, Bryonia, Borax, Apis mel, Colocynthis, Cimicifuga, Caulophyllum, Cocculus, Pulsastilla, Kreosote, Sabina, Secale cor, Mag phos, Viburnum Opulus, Xanthoxylum, Calcarea Phos, Calcarea carbonica, Staphysagria, etc. These medicines should be taken under the advice and diagnosis of a qualified Homoeopath.
Yoga helps, inverting your uterus this position helps.
Reducing your stress, having a good diet, hot baths. :)

Use a mild pain reliver. Drink lots of water. Take a nice warm bath Get plenty of rest and exercise (try walking)
Some women find that abdominal massage or yoga help. A heating pad applied to the abdominal area may relieve the pain and congestion.
Birth control will help. This type of approach can prevent ovulation (the monthly release of an egg) and reduce the production of prostaglandins which, in turn, reduces the severity of cramping and causes a light menstrual flow.

Aww, do not immediately go on birth control just for cramps. I've been in a fetal position( knees pulled to your chest), with a heating pad or a warm wash cloth. That has helped; also, Pamprin or Midol helps too.
Many girls go on birth control to regulate their period, and for the obvious reason. Your doctor will not always put you on the pll just for cramps, it is awful expensive, and not worth the hassle unless there is a medical problem.

I used to get horrible cramps and I went on birth control. It really does help. I'm horrible with pills and remembering to take them every day at a certain hour would be like prison for me. so, I decided to go on Nuvaring. It's once a month birth control. It's a soft ring that you insert and just leave it in there for 3 weeks and then you have your period on the 4th week. It is really great for someone forgetful like me. If you don't want to go on birth control, try Midol. It really does help. More than ibuprofin. Heating pads are good too.
If you're interested in the nuvaring here is a link to their site. It's worth looking into. And they have a trial offer.

Good luck. I hope this helps.

Birth control will help, but if you smoke I would advise you quit first. Other ways would to cut back on caffinated drinks.That's about all I know besides a heating pad. I have always had bad cramps and the only thing that works is Midol Please try it, it's a godsend. Hope you feel better.

Have you gone to a doctor? An exam will make sure everything is okay. Then the doctor can discuss with you the best ways to either get rid of the pain or make it less.
Natural Childbirth breathing (inhale through the nose and exhale through puckered lips like bending the flame of a candle, not blowing it out will relax the muscles and is a great pain control method.)

Hi, I used to get really bad cramps to the point where I couldn't move on the first day of my cycle. I started birth control and, most of the time, I barely notice my cramps. As horrible as it sounds, excercise helps. Try forcing yourself to just walk around (as much as you can) - it really really really helps. Also, if you feel comfortable enough, masterbating helps because it relaxes the muscles (and takes your mind off your cramps). When I was younger, I also took warm baths. Try all those and let me know how you feel.

Birth control will help, but the main reason is so you can predict when the pain will come, mostly. You're probably cramping up because you're dehydrated, believe it or not. You get dehydrated, and your blood is thicker than normal...hence your body has to work harder to expel it.
